  • Engine overhaul: pilot flies substitute a/c for one mission. 
  • Engine destroyed and replaced: pilot flies substitute a/c for two missions.

Other Damage

  1. If specific area of a/c takes OVER 75% of total damage it can absorb, extensive repair is required.
  2. If aircraft takes 50% or more of the total hits the entire a/c is capable of absorbing, a/c is damaged beyond repair.
